Kia Sales Ignite In October With A 45.3% Increase

On the heels of its best quarter ever in company history, Kia Motors America (KMA) today announced October sales of 22,490 units, a 45.3-percent increase over the same month last year. Year to date sales totaled 261,060, a 7.2-percent increase over the same period last year. October sales were led by the all-new Kia Forte compact and Rio subcompact, selling 4,984 and 4,005 units respectively. The Kia Borrego SUV also sold well, posting its best month ever with 3,919 units.

Kia Motors is in the midst of a dramatic, design-led transformation, which has been delivering dynamically styled vehicles in several important segments at exactly the right time contributing to the brand's continued gains in U.S. market share. The upcoming launch of the all-new 2011 Sorento CUV, the official vehicle of the NBA and the first vehicle to be built at the company's first U.S.-based manufacturing facilities in West Point, Georgia, will further enhance the lineup.
